Manual de Miércoles, Risograph zine on Mezcal, Land & Justice, 2020
Every object contains a point of view. This one begins in Durango, where mezcal is not a trend, but a testimony. Manual de Miércoles is a printed meditation on land, ritual, and resistance. It observes the mezcalero not as producer, but as witness. The spirit they distill is not merely drink but direction: a means of surviving the middle of the week, the middle of the world.
Printed via Risograph1 in dusky vegetal tones on Mohawk Renewal Hemp Rough2, a paper made from textile offcuts and agricultural waste, the zine holds its own quiet ecology. There are no instructions here, only traces: of smoke, of ancestry, of labor rarely named but deeply felt.
All proceeds fund ELENA, a nonprofit legal agency offering justice not as theory, but as access. As the zine suggests: to celebrate something is also to defend it.
